GEORGE WASHINGTON STORER. 

Real Admiral, U. S. Navy. 



1789-1864. 



It is related in Brewster's "Rambles about Portsmouth," ist series, pages 254 
and 266, that during Washington's visit to Portsmouth in 17S9, he called Tuesday 
forenoon, 3rd November, on Mrs. Tobias Lear, the mother of his private secretary. 
Col. Tobias Lear, then living near the east end of Hunking street, and "in the south- 
west parlor he was introduced to and cordially greeted every member of the family — 
the venerable mother, her children, and her grandchildren." 

With the other grandchildren a babe was presented, son of Samuel Storer, a dry 
goods merchant of Portsmouth, then residing in the same house, "who had been 
christened 'George Washington.' The President places his hand gently upon the in- 
fant's head, and expresses the wish that he may 'be a better man than the one whose 
name he bears' ". 

As the name of this child — Rear Admiral George Washington Storer, U. S. 
Navy — is proudly borne by Storer Post, it is particularly worthy of remembrance 
that he is one of the very few men of whom it could be said "that they have thus been 
under the hand and received the personal blessing of our country's father." 



I Navy Department, 

1 Washington, D. C. Jan. 13, 1864. 

The Department announces to the Navy and Marine Corps, the death of Rear 
Admiral George W. Storer. He died at his residence in Portsmouth, N. H., on the 
morning of the 8th inst., after an honorable career in the Navy of nearly fiftv-tive 
years. Rear Admiral Storer was correct in his deportment, attached to his profession, 
and devoted to his country. As an officer in the Navy he has served faithful!}', and 
has filled with credit many important positions both ashore and afloat. 

As a mark of respect to his memory, it is hereby directed that at the Portsmouth, 
N. H. Navy Yard the flags be hoisted at half-mast and thirteen minute-guns be fired 
at meridian on the day after the receipt hereof. 

GIDEON WELLES, 

Serrefary of the Nariy. 



The residence of Rear Admiral Storer was at the south-west corner of Middle 
Street and Auburn Street (now Richards Avenue), Portsmouth, on the site of the Sin- 
clair Inn. His oil portrait may be seen at G. A. R. Hall. — Record, "Proprietors' 
Cemeterv — North of Pond." 



LINCOLN'S SPEECH AT GETTYSBURG. 

NOVEMBER 19, 1863. 



"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new 
nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created 
equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any 
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle- 
field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting- 
place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether 
fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — 
we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and 
dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or 
detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can 
never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here 
to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from 
these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the 
last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not 
have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — 
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish 
from the earth." 

{Appleto?i'.< Cyclopedia of Ameiicati Biography.^ 



OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 



"To New Hampshire men the whole nation is a sepulchre, for their blood has 
watered the soil of every state but their own, and their dust is mouldering by every 
great river and in every mountain pass from Maine to Georgia — from the Charles to 
the Rio Grande and the Red River of the North. They died before Warren at Bunker 
Hill, before Washington at Yorktown, under the eye of Jackson at New Orleans; 
they were thrown in their hammock-shroud from the bloody deck of Paul Jones, and 
Lawrence, and Decatur, and Farragut ; they marched with Sherman, they charged 
with Sheridan, they conquered with Thomas, they fought it out on his own line with 
Grant. But no soldier of my native state ever fell on his own soil, or was buried in 
his dear native earth, unless the restless ocean cast his body on its narrow sea coast, 
or the love and care of parent, or brother, or child, restored to their sorrow and pride 
the corpse that had fallen a thousand miles from home." 

{Hon. Frank B. Sanborn, i8ji — igiy, of Concord, Mass., 

in the Massachusetts Legislattire, March J 4, jS8g.)

DECORATION DAY. 



BY ANNIE DOUGLAS ROBINSON (MARION DOUGLAS). 



Loud, ringing- strains of victory, 

Low dirges, soft and tender, 
Fair wreaths, where Spring's last violets meet 

The rose's opening splendor ; 
So proud ! so sad ! what is it, say ? 
A funeral or a festal day? 

A funeral for remembered love 

Still makes the true heart falter ; 
A festival, for Valor's grave 

Ls ever Freedom's altar ; 
And Glory's flower its proudest bloom 
Shows only on a soldier's tomb.

he is not shown by "Buell's Paul Jones" to have been attached to the "Ranger" in the 
battle of April 24, 1778; which confirms a family tradition that he joined the ship for 
passage to France only, and left soon after her arrival there. He was pensioned as 
"Jacob Walden, Mariner, Ship Ranger". (Pension List, Act of March i8, 1818, Re- 
port Secretary of War, Washington, 1820.) 



THE ''RANGER." 

The Continental ship "Ranger," first called the "Hampshire," but named the 
"Ranger" by Congress June 14, 1777, when Captain John Paul Jones was appointed to 
the command, was built by Captain Tobias Lear of Portsmouth (Grandfather of Rear 
Admiral George W. Storer, U. S. Navy), at the Continental Shipyard, Langdon's (now

The "Ranger" arrived at Brest, France, on May 7, 1778, with her prize, the 
"Drake". On July 27, 1778, when Captain Jones left her, First Lieutenant Simpson 
took command of the "Ranger" by authority of the American Commissioners in 
France, and August 21 she sailed for America, arriving in the Piscataqua, Oct. 16, 
1778. She afterwards made several cruises on the coast ; continuing under the com- 
mand of Captain Simpson, until captured. 

The "Ranger" was taken by the British at the surrender of Charleston, S. C, May 
12, 1780; added to the Royal Navy. Renamed the "Halifax," arrived at Plymouth^ 
England, "came into harbour on 20th July, 1781, and was docked on 6th of August, 
1781, and undocked the same day." 

The "Ranger" — "Halifax" was recommended for sale as "Fit for any Trade in the 
Merchant Service" (Advertisement of sale, "The London Gazette," Sept. 25 to 29, 
1781), and though valued Sept. 11, 1781, preparatory to the sale — "Hull ;^949 los. 7d.''

LIEUT. ELIJAH HALL. 

"In memory 

of the 

Hon. Elijah Hall, 

who died 

June 22, A. D. 1830, 

aged 84 [87] years. 

As an officer of the Ranger, under 

Capt. J. Paul Jones ; a Merchant : a 

Representative, Senator and 

Councillor of this State ; as 

Naval Officer ; Member of this 

Church, and in his other relations, 

he sustained the character of a 

Patriot and an upright Man." 

{^Tablet, Sf.Jo/ifi's C/iiirr/i, Portsmouth.') 

"Died. In this town, on Tuesday last [June 22, 1830], Hon. Elijah Hall, aged 87. 
Capt. Hall was Lieutenant in the Navy in the Revolutionary War, sailed under John 
Paul Jones in the 'Ranger'; was many years Counsellor from this district; and for 
several years prior to his death was Naval Officer of the District of Portsmouth. 

"He was, in private life, an estimable citizen, a fair merchant, a tender parent, 
and an honest man." 

{^'Portsmouth Journal" June 2b, iSjo.) 

"Lieut. Elijah Hall was born Dec. 9, 1742, at Raynham, Mass., son of Phillip 
and Huldah (Leonard) Hall ; he went to Portsmouth, N. H., when young, was a ship 
builder and merchant, married Elizabeth, daughter of Col. James Stoodley, of Ports- 
mouth. He remained on the 'Ranger' until she was destroyed [taken by the British], 
was captured and paroled, but not exchanged until the end of the war. Was commis- 
sioned Naval Officer, Jan. 28, i8i8, of the port here [Portsmouth, N. H.] and held it 
until his death, which occurred June 22, 1S30, at Portsmouth." 

{••Pemick" , fage 2/4.) 

Lieut. Hall returned to America in the '-Ranger", occupying the post of First 
Lieutenant under Captain Simpson, and continued in that position until the ship was 
captured. In 1829 Lieut. Hall wrote : — 

"I served my Country faithfully during the whole Revolutionary War, and part 
of the time with the gallant Paul Jones as his First Lieutenant, and was in several 
desperate battles; I commanded a Marine Battery during the siege of Charleston [S. 
C] and there lost the sight of my left eye by the bursting of a shell, and have never 
asked mv Country for a pension. During the last War [ 1812-1815] I lost my only three 
sons in battle [Leonard, James and Ashton S. Hall], all of whom were officers, while 
defending their Country's flag ; the youngest [Ashton S. Hall, Midshipman, U. S. 
Navv] was in the 'Wasp', Capt. Blakely, in the action and capture of the 'Reindeer*, 
and for his gallantry Congress voted him a sword." 

{Extracts from an unpublished letter ivritten by 
Lieut. Eli/ah Hall in iSsq.)

Mr. John H. Sherburne, author of "Sherburne's Life of Paul Jones," Washington, 
1825, and New York, 1851, in which a good notice of Lieut. Elijah Hall appeared (re- 
printed from the 1825 edition in "The Graves We Decorate,"' 1S93, pages 73-74), was 
his son-in-law. 

An interesting account of the cruise of the "Ranger" under John Paul Jones was 
printed in the "N. E. H. G. Register," Vol. XXIX, pages 13 and 170. 

Hon. Elijah Hall long resided and died in the house Nos. 36 and 38 old numbers, 
Daniel Street, Portsmouth. 



SAMUEL HOLBROOK. 

"Deaths. In this town [Portsmouth, N. H., September 15. 1836], Mr. Samuel 
Holbrook, aged 76 [79], a Soldier of the Revolution, Mr. H. took up arms in defence 
of his country, at the first roll of the drum. He was with Washington at Cambridge 
during the operations of the American Army against the British in Boston. He left 
the Army soon after and enrolled himself with the gallant John Paul Jones. He was 
stationed with three others in the main-top of the Bonne Homme Richard ['Bon 
Homme Richard'] during the severe action with the Serapis, and was the only one of 
the four who escaped from that tremendous struggle." 

{Netv Hampshire Gazette. September 20, iSjd.) 

The name of Samuel Holbrook does not appear on the "Roll of the Officers, Sea- 
men, Marines, and Volunteers, who served on board the 'Bon Homme Richard', com- 
manded by Commodore John Paul Jones, in her cruize made in 1779") printed in 
"Sherburne's Life of John Paul Jones", ist Edition, Washington, 1S25, and 2nd Edit- 
ion, New York, 1851; in the list printed in "Buell's Paul Jones", New York, 1900, 
Vol. II; nor in that printed in "The Logs of the Serapis-AUiance-Ariel", Naval His- 
tory Society's Publications, Vol. I, New York. 1911; — but does appear on the "Roll 
of the Ranger" and "Roster of the Ranger" printed above; — and it therefore seems 
evident that the notice in the "New Hampshire Gazette", stating that he served on the 
"Bon Homme Richard", is incorrect. He was pensioned as "Samuel Holbrook, Sea- 
man, Ship Ranger" (Pension List, 1S20. ) 



Thomas Simpson, of Portsmouth, N. H., First Lieutenant of the "Ranger", un- 
der Paul Jones, succeeded him in command of that vessel at Brest, France, July 27, 
1778, and remained in command until her capture at Charleston, S. C, May 1780. 
He afterwards commanded the privateer ship "Alexander" of Portsmouth. After the 
war "he was master of the ship 'Ceres', and died on the homeward passage from Mar- 
tinico, West Indies, Feb. 18, 1784". He was "buried at Portsmouth, N. H., March 
16, 1784", but there is no stone in any Portsmouth cemetery to mark the spot. (See 
Notes and Queries, "Boston Transcript", Feb. 25 and May 24, 1905.) Mrs. Martha 
Simpson, his widow, a sister of Governor John Langdon, married Jan. ist, 1787, at 
Portsmouth, Hon. James Sullivan, of Boston, afterwards Governor of Massachusetts.

NATHANIEL KENNARD 

"Died on the 24th inst. [June 24, 1823], Capt. Nathaniel Kennard of this town 
[Portsmouth. N. H.], aged 68. 

His character demands none of the usual unmeaning panegyric of an obituary 
notice. To those who knew him, his services, his sufferings and his worth will ever 
render his memory dear. All who partake of the blessings secured by the enterprise 
and valor of our Revolutionary heroes, cannot but feel an interest in the events of his 
life. 

At the commencement of the war of the Revolution, he entered as a volunteer in 
one of the first regiments in Massachusetts, for the term of one year. 

At the expiration of that engagement, he entered on board a private armed vessel 
— was captured, carried to England and kept in close confineinent at the Mill Prison 
for two years and a quarter, being encouraged with no other prospect than a still pro- 
tracted confinement, or a termination of it by being hanged as a rebel. 

Thence he was sent to France in a cartel, where on the 20th April, 1779, he en- 
tered on board the 'Bon Homme Richard,' under the celebrated John Paul Jones, and 
was with him in some of the most desperate enterprises, in which that Commander 
was engaged. From that vessel he was put on board a prize and ordered for France. 

He was again captured and carried into Hull in the north of England, transported 
to Spithead, put on board the 'Unicorn' frigate and compelled to do duty until at the 
imminent hazard of his life he escaped in the Island of Jamaica. Thence he returned 
to America a little before the close of the war. 

After the peace of '83 he engaged in the merchant service and continued a repu- 
table shipmaster until near the commencement of the late war [1812-15], when he was 
appointed by government to the command of a Revenue Cutter and continued in the 
same to the close of the war. 

After that period, until his death, he was employed as Inspector of the Customs 
at this port. In all his various services, Capt. Kennard sustained the character of an 
honest man and a good citizen." 

{^^Portsmoittli Journal," July 5, jS^^.) 

Capt. Nathaniel Kennard was born on Kennard's hill, in Eliot, Maine, then a part 
of Massachusetts, and died in Portsmouth, N. H. His son, Capt. Nathaniel Kennard, 
Jr., of Portsmouth, was captured in the "Harlequin" privateer in the War of 1812, 
and afterwards died in the West Indies of yellow-fever. 

An interesting notice of Capt. Nathaniel Kennard will be found in Remick's "Kit- 
tery and Eliot, Maine, in the American Revolution," pages 134-135.

(Records Adjutant Ge7ieraVs Office, U. S. Army, 
Washington, D. C.) 



Mary Appleton Foster was born in Portsmouth, N. H., February 26, 1829, and 
was baptized by Dr. Nathan Parker, of the South (Unitarian) Church. Portsmouth, 
May 17, 1829, 

She was the daughter of John Welsh Foster, 1789-1852, and Mary (Appleton) Fos- 
ter; and sister of Joseph Hiller Foster, 1825-1885, and of Miss Sarah Haven Foster, 
1827-1900, author of the "Portsmouth Guide Book," and of the poem, "Not Long 
Ago," printed on pages 73-74. — all well known citizens of Portsmouth. 



"John Welsh Foster (James, Nathan, Joseph, Jacob, Reginald)," — a descendant of 
Reo-inald Foster who came from England to Ipswich, Mass., in 1638 ; and a son of 
James Foster, born Ipswich, Mass., December 18, 1747, married Elizabeth Hiller, and 
died, a resident of Boston, Mass., in 1793 — was "born June 6, 1789, married August 
31, 1824, in Portsmouth, N. H., Mary Appleton, born in 1789 [1799], in Boston, daugh- 
ter of Dr. Nathaniel Walker Appleton (Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John, Samuel) and 
Sarah, daughter of William Greenleaf, of Boston (as stated in the "Genealogy of the 
Appleton Family ;" W. S. Appleton, Boston, 1874, page 22.) 

"Mrs. Foster's great grandfather was Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Appleton, of Cambridge, 
in honor of whom the Appleton Chapel at Harvard University was named, and Dr. 
Appleton's grandfather was President John Rogers of Harvard." 

"John Welsh Foster, after his father's death, in 1793, lived for nine years with his 
uncle, Joseph Hiller, then Collector of the port of Salem. He settled in Portsmouth, 
N. H., in 1812, and in 1819 was chosen Deacon of the Unitarian Church ; he held that

"A memorial of John W. Foster, edited by Andrew P. Peabody, D. D., pastor of 
the church, was published in Portsmouth, in 1852. He died January 10, 1852, in 
Portsmouth. [Mrs. Foster died in November, 1879, in Portsmouth, age 80.]" 

(Pierce's '■'•Foster Getiealogy" Chicago, i8gQ, page 30J.) 

Miss Mary A. Foster was Treasurer of the "Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society," of 
Portsmouth, in the summer of 1862 ; and in November of that year volunteered as an 
Army Nurse. 

She was attached to Epiphany General Hospital, Washington, D. C, November 
21, 1862 ; and to the General Hospital, Fairfax Seminary, Virginia, November 22, 
1862, to May 19, 1863 ; the Finley General Hospital, District of Columbia, in April 
1865 ; and the Harewood General Hospital, District of Columbia, in June 1865 ; as 
shown by the Hospital Muster Rolls. 

A sketch of Miss Mary A. Foster's experience as an Army Nurse, written by her 
when about eighty years of age, for a Club in which she was interested, give? further 
particulars of her service. 

Her niece. Miss Margaret Foster, of San Rafael, California, has her War Diary. 

Miss Foster left Portsmouth, Sept. 5, 1862, for Washington ; and staying there 
with some friends, at first joined a hospital established in a church on "H" street, 
passing the days there only. After a short time she fell ill, and was obliged to leave 
for two or three weeks ; and not long after, that hospital was closed. 

On recovery, she sought and obtained an appointment as an Army Nurse from 
Miss Dorothea L. Dix, and was sent to the Fairfax Seminary General Hospital, in Vir- 
ginia, some six miles beyond Alexandria. 

This was in November 1862. When hot weather came in the spring of 1863, all 
the patients who could travel were sent North, and part of the hospital being closed, 
Miss Foster went home for a few months, to recuperate. 

In October of that same year, 1863, Miss Foster accepted an invitation to go to 
St. Louis and work under the Western Sanitary Commission. After a trip to Nashville, 
Tenn., without result, she was sent down the river to New Orleans, La., to help take 
charge of the "Soldier's Home" there. Preferring service as an Army Nurse, she 

soon sought and obtained a position in the Hospital of the Thirteenth Army Corps, es- 
tablished in a huge cotton press. "Here began some months of the hardest, but yet 
the most satisfactory work which I ever did," — she says. 

In March 1864, most of the patients in that hospital were sent North, and the re- 
mainder were transferred to the "Marine Hospital," a large permanent institution, 
whither Miss Foster followed them ; and in June of that year, this hospital having be- 
come less crowded, and feeling pretty well worn out, she came North to New York, 
on a transport, being nearly wrecked in a severe gale oft Charleston, S. C, and pass- 
ing safely through a serious railroad accident between New York and Portsmouth. 

Her third, and last experience as an Army Nurse, came in the spring of 1865, 
when Miss Dix sent a request for Miss Foster to report to her for duty in Washington ; 
but the very day she started came the glad news of the fall of Richmond. 

After a few weeks at the Finley and the Harewood General Hospitals, Washing- 
ton, both were closed, one after the other ; and the war happily ended, Miss Foster 
joyfully returned home.

Miss Marj A. Foster was one of the founders of the Portsmouth Public Library, 
and had a great deal to do with its beginning,. 

In 1871, Rev. James l)e Normandie, minister of the Unitarian Church, together 
with Miss Foster and others, established a Young People's Union, in three rooms at 
the corner of Congress and Vaughan streets, Portsmouth, where young people might 
resort in the evening. Thev collected about a thousand volumes, which, when the 
Union ceased to exist in 1874, were stored in the basement of the Unitarian Chapel. 

In 1880, Miss Foster conceived the idea of loaning these books to the people of 
the city. Mr. Robert E. Rich (a veteran of the War for the preservation of the Union, 
who lost his right leg at the battle of Antietam^ — Record, "Harmony Grove Cemetery" 
— afterwards long Librarian of the Portsmouth Public Library,) catalogued them, and 
Miss Foster and other ladies arranged and covered them. They secured a little room 
in the Custom House for temporary use, and on January ist, 1881, the Public Library 
began the issue of books. After several changes of location the Library was finally 
established in its present building, formerly the "Portsmouth Academy," in 1896. 



"Word was received this morning [November 19, 1913] of the death at San Rafael, 

California, yesterday of Miss Mary A. Foster. Until ten years ago Miss Foster was 

all her life a resident of Portsmouth [excepting during her Army service], and she 

and her sister Sarah were well known and highly honored here. She represented the 

best type of New England character. Her zeal for the highest things in life, moral, 

intellectual and religious, never flagged, and she could always be counted upon for 

loyal service to her friends, her church and her town. She will be remembered here 

with respect and affection." 

(Rev. Alfred Goodii/g, 

in ^'■T/ie Portsmouth Times" November ig, i()i3-) 

Miss Mary A. Foster died at San Rafael, California, November 18, 1913, age 84, 
and is interred in Proprietors' Cemetery, North of Pond, Portsmouth. 

She is the only one of the Portsmouth Army Nurses who was born, resided most 
of her life, and is buried in Portsmouth.

NOT LONG AGO. 

A Poem of 1870. 



BV SARAH HAVEN FOSTER. 



Not long ago 
A darker cloud our Country's sky o'ercast 
Than whirling stormrifts in November's blast ; 
When Winter, stealing through sad autumn's gate, 
Found deeper cold on hearths made desolate 

Than all his snow. 

It is not long 
Since timid Spring, on her first southern breath. 
Brought news of terror and a scent of death ; 
Since Summer met no answer to her smiles. 
And the drum's clangor in her leafy aisles 

Hushed the birds' song. 

Have we forgot 
The ranks that answered freedom's warning bell. 
Braved the death tempest and the prison hell, 
With sturdy hearts hurled back the impending doom. 
But when the trump of Victory called them home. 

Responded not ? 

Not all forget ! 
The struggling widow keeps with tears the day 
That turned her staff to dust, her hope to clay ; 
The shadow on the mother's brow that fell 
When her brave darling kissed his last farewell 

Is brooding yet. 



74 



Some yet can tell 
Of hours of anguish, worse than sudden doom, 
That left them helpless in a helpless home, 
Crippled or broken from the cruel strife, 
Fettered forever in the race of life 

By painful spell. 

Oh ! hearts at ease ! 
Your ease was bought at price of others' pain ; 
Another's loss your ransom and your gain ; 
Your homes secure with flowers of joy are strown, 
But other homes grew dark to bless your own ; 

Remember these ! 

With open hand 
Pay back the debt where not, alas ! too late ; 
Bid Comfort seek the hearths left desolate ; 
Save those who saved you from misfortune's blast, 
And prove our Country, mindful of the past, 

A grateful land !
